Aimee, that's not a friend (in case you hadn't already decided that on your own). My mother tends to give back-handed compliments like that, but then I've known she didn't like me for years (she kind of likes my new hair color, but says I need to get ligher-framed glasses to go with it; my sister just disapproves).
In cat news ... we had a middle-aged, chubby, sedentary cat once. She'd never caught anything, even when we had mice in the house. One day she managed to pick up a baby bird that had, we assumed, fallen out of its nest. She carried it into the house, with the parent birds screaming and dive-bombing her, laid it down on the floor, and looked at it with a "what do I do NOW?" look. The baby bird sat on the floor, glared up at her and chirped menacingly. We scooped up the baby bird and tucked it back into its nest and hoped for the best. The cat we had after that one was small and dumb as the proverbial box of rocks. She thought she was a great hunter ... but the only thing she ever caught (aside from various inanimate objects around the house and, once, my hair) was a bee. Then my mother moved with her into a new house which got lots of crickets once a year. THOSE she caught. She'd eat them, but crickets aren't terribly digestible, so she'd throw them up on the floor ... and we'd find little puddles with legs sticking out of them.
And a lol cat after my own heart.
I agree with the director.
I would go one step further. John McCain would first shove a prisoner towards the cops, saying, "I found something for you."
HI, vw! How's the homework going?
Gronk. I feel hungover from the benadryl I took last night. TCG is home today and making me tea. We have to pack so that we can head down to the beach in a few hours. Yay, beach weekend!
Bug! You're awake!
Yup! I've been awake since...um...yesterday morning sometime. I've finally stopped drinking caffeinated beverages, though, because I'm very shaky. I've switched to apple juice.
HI, vw! How's the homework going?
It's going. I'm working on paper edits. Must be done by 11:15, or so. SOON! I will be done! Mwahahahahaha!
vw, you didn't sleep at all? I used to be able to do that. Now, nsm.

Nope. And I typically can't do it either. I really pushed myself, though, because I did not want to have to write an e-mail this morning begging for an incomplete.
Aimee, what a bitch. And not in the good way.
Gah. I just had to deal with Not!Ex sending me a rambly "Are you mad at me?" email. Passive-aggressive bastard. I didn't return one IM, I must HATE YOU OMG.
In reality, you backed out of our get-together this weekend at the last minute for your girlfriend's (who was your fiancee until you had a screaming falling-out and then got back together four months later) birthday party, and you're getting pissy with ME for not jumping at your every call.
Hate is such a strong word, and yet he keeps evoking it in me.
